Kaboom! Manhattan Project Opera Hits New York; See Nuclear Test Site For Real in New Mexico
Even for regular opera-goers, the Met's production of the new opera "Doctor Atomic" is big--and not just because it contains a bomb. The ambitious piece, written by Peter Sellars, had its world premiere in San Francisco in 2005, and attempts to depict the first ever nuclear bomb test conducted by J. Robert Oppenheimer without resorting to movie-style special effects, filling its characters' mouths with lines from the Bhagavad Gita and poet John Donne.
